This Side Of The Law is a legal thriller that explores the underbelly of New York City- and the legal profession. It is John Grisham meets Alissa Nutting’s Tampa, with the attitude of William Boyle’s Gravesend.
New York City prosecutor Jamie Jefferson’s life is going nowhere fast- until a relationship with a witness puts her on a collision course with a federal prosecutor out for blood.
Jamie is an Assistant District Attorney in the Special Victims Unit, drawn to prosecuting sex crimes after her own high school trauma. She has a stellar conviction rate, a high workload and a bad case of burnout. Then she’s assigned to prosecute a rape case that happened at one of Russian mob boss Peter Federov’s nightclubs. Jamie seizes the opportunity to advance her career- until she starts falling for Peter’s sixteen-year-old grandson Alexander, who was a witness to the crime. Alexander, desperate to be free of his family’s stranglehold on the bowels of Sheepshead Bay and Brighton Beach, sees Jamie as his ticket out. Standing in their way is the vengeful Rostislav Gutin, an Assistant U.S. Attorney and first-generation American who is trying to separate his own Russian heritage from the world of the Federovs. Rostislav is a Julliard-trained musician who became a lawyer with the sole aim of prosecuting Peter Federov for crimes that changed Rostislav’s life. As he gets closer to his aim, Rostislav will stop at nothing- including ending Jamie’s career for her transgressions with Alexander.
